Calvary Women’s Services empowers homeless women in Washington, DC, to transform their lives through housing, health, education, and employment programs. Calvary is committed to providing these services in Wards 7 and 8, neighborhoods with the highest poverty rates in the District. Our programs are designed for women who are survivors of violence and trauma, are living with mental illness, or are in recovery from substance addiction. Through personalized services and with peer support, each woman identifies and builds on her own strengths in order to meet her goals for safe housing, good health, and financial independence. Their programs work: every five days a woman moves from Calvary into her own home with the skills and confidence she needs to succeed.
